Sketch with watercolor

I am still not sure my plan works as I want it to, but at least I tried to make six sketches as I proposed.  I started at 10 this morning; it is 5:30 and one more to go.  I didn't work on painting constantly; I have to take a lot of short breaks while watercolor dries. I do not have large watercolor paper (hopefully 300 lbs) yet; even if I had some, I wouldn't experiment the trial on the expensive paper!  I still have Rives paper, so I tried on it, too, but the masking fluid tore the paper.  I like the way watercolors settle on the Rives paper, though.  Checking Turner and other painters have helped me to pursue my project.
